Good Old Earth
Good Morning!
For most of us the weather can never be right. It’s either too hot or too cold or too in- between. If only, we groan and point accusing fingers. Could anyone be homesick for this over- populated, polluted, grimy, threatened piece of earth that we moan about? Sunita Williams space log book reveals that she is more than ready to return to the familiar chaos of planet earth. Hurtling around the earth at a hypersonic speed, she confesses of looking out of the window of the space station, and feeling an urge to reach out and stroke ‘the beautiful orb in the distance with its green countryside and red mountains.’ After spending time in space for more than six months, taken for granted pleasures like enjoying a rainy day, a swim in the ocean, lake or pool are on the top of the list. If absence can make the heart grow fonder, a little time spent in the dark bowels of coal mines or in damp, bat infested, caves may be the answer for the earth weary among us, to feel the forgotten urge to get back in touch with the earth.

I’m sure being stuck in space would make anyone homesick for this dirty planet. Kind of makes me think of that new movie coming out, Terra, where we destroyed earth and had to go invade another planet to live. I bet we all would be missing earth then.
